This feature article provides both a critical perspective as to where synthetic 2D polymers currently stand and a rather substantial view into how the future of this exciting field of polymer chemistry might look. It starts out by addressing strategic considerations meant to familiarize the reader with what to expect when entering the field. To better understand these considerations, the very nature of a 2D polymer is addressed in comparison to other organic 2D materials. Thereafter, the article moves quite intensely and critically into synthetic and mechanistic issues of 2D polymers before concentrating on the important structural analytics that one has to go through when unequivocally establishing these novel sheet‐like polymeric objects. After a short excursion into the matter of exfoliation, the feature article then culminates in a section attempting to forecast the future. Key differences between 1D and 2D polymers are highlighted, and those considered by the authors to be the most attractive and burning research goals are further discussed. It is hoped that the reader will find this speculative section inspiring enough such that ideas that will help in advancing 2D polymers even faster are generated.

合成2D聚合物：批判性的观点和对未来的展望

这篇专题文章既提供了有关合成2D聚合物当前地位的批判性观点，也提供了有关聚合物化学这一令人兴奋的领域的未来前景的相当实质性的看法。首先从解决战略性考虑开始，以使读者熟悉进入该领域时的期望。为了更好地理解这些考虑因素，与其他有机2D材料相比，解决了2D聚合物的本质问题。此后，在集中讨论当人们明确地建立这些新颖的片状聚合物物体时必须经历的重要结构分析之前，本文非常激烈且关键地讨论了2D聚合物的合成和机械问题。经过短暂的去角质问题后，然后，专题文章在试图预测未来的部分中达到高潮。强调了1D和2D聚合物之间的关键区别，并进一步讨论了作者认为是最有吸引力和紧迫的研究目标的那些区别。希望读者能从中找到启发性的启发，从而产生有助于更快地推进2D聚合物的思想。
